Topic: Good Alts? (Read 3234 times)

You just download the Burst wallet and the miner. At first start, your miner will detect plot size (usually your HDD space) So the bigger space you have, the more coins you can mine.

Official site: http://burstcoin.info

Mining calculator: http://burstcoin.biz/calculator

Right now the network difficulty for Burst has lowered. So now is the best time to mine them. Depending on the difficulty, you're current HDD space will determine how many coins you will earn. The bigger the difficulty, the harder it is to mine them with your current space. In that case, you're going to need more HDD space. I usually mine with one 2TB HDD (internal) and another 2TB HDD (external) That makes 4TB of free space in total. I think I'm going to get another HDD soon.

Hope this helps 

I don't really think there is any good alts at the moment though I'm a little out of touch with them, these days.


How does that work exactly?

A good alt coin right now is Burst. I like the fact that you can mine them with your spare HDD space. It's so much easier than mining with a ASIC miner. Just my opinion 

It may be a good idea but with that percentages (>5%) i`d like to invest in established coins. It may or may not come true, with 200k$ market cap it can be owned by 5 people who eagerly wait to dump, or it may not be that good for the people.

After all the people have to like it and if the demand is small and its not that likeable then people won't use it especially if there are better alternatives.

We will see as it progresses, i might put 1-2% in it.

Just buy VNL right now before it's too late dude..

  It was a joke but if you have really thought about your portfolio and you have a good strategy go for it.

Regarding Guldencoin, there are a some shops recently that accepted Guldencoin too but are not updated on the list
http://timeline.guldencoin.com/
You can walk in a shop in the Netherlands and get you hair cut, buy a coffee, buy a sub at subways, go to a bar and have a beer, buy clothes with in a shop, eat in a restaurant, etc just check the timeline.
Also you can buy drones, gold, silver, mining equipment etc etc also check the timeline.
The main focus is the Netherlands but eventually they will expand across Europe and further.

What Guldencoin is doing in the Netherlands Digibyte will do to the world in my mindset.

I like the  NEM wallet, unfortunately, that's about all there is to say. I fail to see innovation in this coin

NEM

One of the developers just went public and he is a neuroscientist and a really smart guy.

Excellent point. With all open source software the ability to track progress in github prior to a tagged release is really nice.

On a related note I would recommend avoiding all alt coins that are cold source for both security reasons and for the inability to verify claims of the developer.

I'm not interested in guldencoin as an investment, but I've read that it's popular in the netherlands:

Hahahaha that is very funny, but no, when I put that list together I thought of long term holdings, not weekly pump & dump schemes.

You also have to consider the capitalization of the fund, the more money it has the better established it is, and it also carries a risk of divesting, but an established on has smaller risk of that than a smaller one.

I havent even heard of Guldencoin, with 200k market cap and a long term downtrend it more likely looks a pump & dump scheme, but I can be wrong.
Also the name makes it more funny so its hard to take it seriously.


Like i imagine you go into the store and buy some food and the shop owner says "that will be 20 GULDENCOIN please pay", it sounds so funny that its surreal to believe this coin becomes even a local currency, hardly a global one.

Digibyte also sounds funny and i dont see innovation there, just a few small modifications.

STARTCOIN is ok.

If one is looking for a sleeper then Monero. Monero is being very actively developed as per the Git master https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero while the official tagged binaries are over eight months old! https://getmonero.org/downloads/

Here is what I suggest:
1) Download and compile the latest source
2) Download the "official" binaries
3) Benchmark 1 vs 2. The RAM needed to run a node with the "official" binaries is around 7 GB vs around 50.5 MB for the latest compiled source, just for starters.

Wow just wow!

Let me help you a bit because when I look at your altcoin portfolio you are either a fish waiting to be eaten by pump and dump group sharks or an ATM-krill for the whales.
(just joking no offence but let me help you in how to pick an altcoin)

1. You do not want to invest in a coin where the devs are anonymous, 99% of the time it is either a scam or a pump and dump. The only coin to have and you do not know who the dev is that is Bitcoin.
2. Community/Dev must be strong and being able to back up their claims regarding innovation and expanding the ecosystem. If they only promise and do not deliver it is bound to go wrong.
3. The coin must have an value, not just the value on the exchange but in real life and online. You must be able to buy goods with the coin: food, clothes, gifts, gold, silver etc
4. A coin must be really undervalued for you to be interesting. You do not want to buy a coin at it's peak.
5. Focus on a select group of coins, diversity in your portfolio is good but in you case that is a lot of coins.  What you are doing is basicly gambling instead of picking winners.


My altcoin portfolio? (max 5 coins)

1Bitcoin (save haven just like ''gold'')
2Guldencoin
3Digibyte
4Startcoin
5-This place is still open-

I recommend to do good research before picking a coin!

IMO best alts are:

NXT (Most advanced crypto plattform)
XMR (Best anancoin)

Start here for example:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/the-full-truth-behind-shadowcashcoin-trolls-and-their-attacks-on-other-coins-818939
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/shadowcashcoin-called-on-trolling-blocknet-its-why-on-oct-21st-100-843604
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/shadowcash-shadowcoin-sdc-scam-exposed-847952

And many more negative threads, not dont get me wrong, I didn't researched it deeply, so it could be a good coin, but I just don't feel like investing in it.

haha get me the info get me the truth let me see? all i have seen is steady price no p&d shit

I`m not sure about that, it looks very shady, and besides that, even the technicals are problematic.

I saw many posts here telling that it's not that safe and anonymous, and there are still exploits there, so i would personally not use it nor invest in it.

forgot shadowcash lol

I start to think that Ethereum will work out, but definitely I would not invest in it just yet.

If i would have only 1 BTC to invest then I would do this:

20% NXT (Most innovative cryptocurrency so far)
15% Litecoin (It may be a clone but you cannot doubt the social media support and the active forumers)
10% Dash (not the best anonymous coin but it is easier to market and promote)
10% Monero (best anon coin but harder to market)
10% Unity (SUPERNET looks innovative, decentralized poker and all that good stuff is appealing)
5% Ethereum (after i see the full client come out and waiting until the sellof of the bears finish)
5% Banx (it is a good dividends coin)
5% Bitshares (same as Banx, but I`d not put in the BitUSD, i think USD is about to get devalued in QE4)
5% XCP (similar to NXT but better corporate support)
5% GEMZ (money making & advertising platform phone chat app is very innovative)
5% Storjcoin X (decentralized storage, innovative but it's hard to accomplish so i`d not invest alot in it)
5% HYPER (a gaming coin, gaming is 180b$ industry, so if they can get some gamers to use that and get paid in that it can grow really big)

BUT THIS IS NOT AN INVESTMENT ADVICE, ITS JUST MY OPINION!

Nxt was already noticed in outside world. I think that nxt should have even more poularity. It one of the most brilliant coins ever made
